The White House’s proposed national AI policy, dubbed the AI Action Plan, has triggered a significant wave of public engagement, amassing over 10,000 comments. The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) recently published the complete collection of submissions, a comprehensive 18,480-page document reflecting input from individuals, industry groups, and local governments. A central theme emerging from the feedback is the complex issue of copyright protection, particularly in the context of rapidly advancing AI-generated content. Concerns also revolve around the potential impact of AI trade on international tariffs and trade agreements.
